The concert is a tribute to a great lady of musical theater and cinema, Yvonne Printemps. One of the most acclaimed actors-singers of the interwar period, who during her fifty-year career had inspired composers, poets and filmmakers.
The concert presents a collection of songs from the operetta “Trois Valses” by Oscar Straus, premiered on April 21, 1937 at the Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens. Yvonne Printemps interpreted the three female lead roles. Two pieces by Francis Poulenc are going to be performed, among them the famous “Les chemins d’amour”, which the composer wrote in 1940 and dedicated it to the great singer. Two more waltzes, an operetta by Franz Lehar “Giuditta” and the famous “Je te veux” by Erik Satie compose the romantic style of concert.

Introduction to the film
DER BLAUE ENGEL / THE BLUE ANGEL
directed by Josef von Sternberg
Blue Angel: Anastasios Deligiannis, Along with him students of the “Maria Stavrou” dance school participating
The musical performer Anastasios Deligiannis presents a retrospect – tribute to cabaret. He will be accompanied by the students of the dance-school “Maria Stavrou” in choreographies and vocal training by Anastasios Deligiannis.
The performance refers to the period of German cabaret where Marlen Dietrich with her sensational voice used to encourage and inspire confidence to her audience during the post-war era, until the most recent great works of the American, now on, cabaret at Broadway. Broadway keeping unchangeable the style of sensuality and simplicity carried on creating the emotion of the dark points of a cabaret club, with the addition, however, of great vocal and dance skills.
A music-dance performance which will take us to an other era in plain words, in a CABARET.
